It's a new year, and after all the CES excitement, we're ready for another edition of The Tech Report System Guide! It's a fantastic time to build a PC, and we're here to ensure you pick the choicest components out there. Check out our range of builds, from the budget-friendly Econobox to the completely tricked-out, No Holds Barred workstation beast.

"Apple Inc’s (AAPL.O) biggest iPhone assembler Foxconn Technology Group (2317.TW) has let go around 50,000 contract workers in China since October, months earlier than normal, Nikkei reported on Friday.
The scale of the cuts is not necessarily deeper than previous years, it is simply significantly earlier, the report said, citing an industry source familiar with the situation. "

For testing the new GeForce RTX 2060 GPU we've prepared a massive 36 game benchmark with over a dozen different GPUs, direct performance breakdowns and cost per frame analysis. By the time we're done you'll know exactly where the RTX 2060 stands, and what it has to offer gamers.

"The two things that really stand out to me are the impressive cinema-like sound quality and the comfort. Whether you are playing games, watching videos, or just listening to music, the G533 makes everything come to life. I could hear things in games and music that I didn't know were there. The deep bass is perhaps the most surprising part of the experience, so when the walls are shaking in your game, the walls are shaking in your head. Logitech says "DTS Headphone: X surround sound technology accurately replicates 7.1 speaker placement and audio positioning, so you can experience in-game environmental effects and positional audio that game designers intended you to hear" and I would agree that this is what makes the G533 a necessary part of your gaming system."

"Yesterday NVIDIA kicked off their week at CES by announcing
the GeForce RTX 2060, the lowest-cost Turing GPU to date at just $349
USD but aims to deliver around the performance of the
previous-generation GeForce GTX 1080. I only received my RTX 2060
yesterday for testing but have been putting it through its paces since
and have the initial benchmark results to deliver ranging from the
OpenGL/Vulkan Linux gaming performance through various interesting GPU
compute workloads. Also, with this testing there are graphics cards
tested going back to the GeForce GTX 960 Maxwell for an interesting look
at how the NVIDIA Linux GPU performance has evolved."

Finally We Have a Way to Gauge Real Time Ray Tracing Performance
So, you want to see what your new RTX or ray tracing capable can do? Don’t have the time or skill to plot a run on the only real ray tracing title (Battlefield V) available as of now?
3DMark is finally updated with its newest benchmark designed specifically to test real time ray tracing performance.
The benchmark we are looking at today is Port Royal, it is the first really good repeatable benchmark I have seen available that tests new real time ray tracing features.

The CAGE Gaming Headset by Teufel may not be just enough to take the gaming peripherals market by storm but it’s still a high-quality model aimed towards demanding consumers willing to spend time tweaking its many settings.

For about $125 at press time, the Seasonic FOCUS SGX-650 650W
